Highest Anemia prevalence
Country: Yemen - Year: 2000 - Prevalence: 66.1%
Lowest Anemia prevalence
Country: Australia - Year: 2010 - Prevalence: 7.3%
High Anemia in LMICs: Countries like Afghanistan (35.7%) and Bangladesh (35.6%) had very high anemia prevalence in 2000, indicating nutritional and healthcare deficiencies.
Lower Rates in High-Income Countries: Countries like Australia (8.0%) and Austria (11.7%) had considerably lower anemia prevalence, reflecting better access to iron-rich diets and healthcare.
Disparities Persist: Even within the same region, disparities exist. For instance, Brazil (26.9%) vs. Argentina (18.7%) in 2000.
Potential Risk Factor: Anemia prevalence consistently appears higher in countries with poor maternal health indicators, suggesting a link with maternal complications.
📊General Trends📊
Extremely High MMR in Fragile States Afghanistan reported an alarmingly high MMR of 1450 per 100,000 live births in 2000, among the worst globally.
Better Outcomes in Developed Nations Australia and Austria show MMRs comparable to global best standards, reflecting effective healthcare systems.
MMR and Health Systems High MMR is often indicative of systemic health system weaknesses, including access to skilled birth attendants and emergency obstetric care.
Highest Anemia drop
Country: Brazil - Drop: 10.10% (from 26.90% in 2000 to 16.80% in 2015)
Highest MMR drop
Country: Afghanistan - Drop: 749.00 (from 1450.00 in 2000 to 701.00 in 2015)
📊High-Risk Countries In 2000, Yemen had the highest anemia prevalence (66.1%), while Afghanistan had the highest maternal mortality rate (MMR) at 1450 deaths per 100,000 live births, highlighting severe health system challenges.
📊Progress & Gaps Average MMR dropped from 165 (in 2000) to ~118 in 2015, but disparities remain — particularly in countries with ongoing conflict or limited healthcare access.
